New dataset tracks AI instruction files in code repos

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

The TomeVault Instruction Corpus measures 229,375 AI instruction files like CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md from code repositories. It includes structural properties such as size, format, and license, but excludes contents and owner names. The dataset is licensed CC BY 4.0 and aims to provide reproducible measurements for researchers.

Meridian48 take
This dataset fills a gap in understanding how teams configure AI coding agents, but its file-instance counting may overstate adoption due to forks.
